Wednesday in Brooklyn

On a warm afternoon, we visited Caribou Baby in Greenpoint, Brooklyn with Lynne. It's a beatiful little shop full of very nice baby stuff- in the back there's a room where they offer many classes for moms and babies and toddlers, including the little movers Yoga movement class Lynne offers. Taiyo picked out a wooden fishing set with a little pole and various fishes, and also a training pants that he said he'd wear. Ever since he received a potty for his birthday, I'm looking forward to his diaperless day, but he seems not so ready. It's ok- he turned two only ten days ago. My friends tell me that it happens fast anyway.

We went down to Enids at Manhattan Ave and Driggs for late lunch. Taiyo immediately befriended our server Jody and ran around the spacious dining room. He worked on his utencil skills cutting up a buiscuit- which was the only thing he was interested in. Food was very nice and fresh afterall; I enjoyed the egg and cheese sandwich and tomato soup Taiyo didn't touch. The timing was perfect that it was before neighborhood hipsters arrived, and we all had good time. Taiyo also did some improve dance performance in the booth. Too bad we didn't have time to run around the McCarren Park across the street, where I used to come for a run.
